Ok I figured out what was happening. FYI ${basedir} doesn't seem to
work (though it would be nice if I could get it to work).
The problem comes down to platform specifics. Thus on Windows the URL
looks like:
<url>file://..\..\fx_3p</url>
On unix/linux the URL should probably look like: (note haven't tested
this but it logically follows given the Windows URL)
<url>file://../../fx_3p</url>
Side question... ${basedir} should resolve to the location of the
pom.xml right? So what does it resolve to if I used ${basedir} in the
parent pom.xml that is one level higher then the project that references
it?
IE dir structure
Fx_toolkit
Pom.xml <-- parent pom
projectA
pom.xml <-- child pom referencing parent pom
Thanks for the help

Relative paths won't work - try including ${basedir} in the repository
URL.
